Reverse Sublist

Reverse part of a list

Sometimes you need to reverse only a portion of a list. Nodes from position mm to nn.

The approach:

1.1. Find the node before position mm (call it prev)

2.2. Reverse the sublist from mm to nn

3.3. Reconnect: prev.next points to new sublist head, old sublist head points to node after nn

# After finding prev and the sublist
# Reverse the sublist, track its new head and tail
# Reconnect
prev.next = newSublistHead
oldSublistHead.next = nodeAfterN

This combines traversal, reversal, and careful pointer management. Practice until it becomes natural.
